Next Up Criminal Minds Exclusive: Each of the six seasons share an expanded universe timeline and often feature actors reprising their previous roles.

Given that half the cast of Roanoke was just killed off and the other half is being hunted by ghosts, we figure now is as good a time as any to go over the previously established rules of ghosts in the AHS universe.

This not only includes the buildings in which they were killed, but also the properties that go with them which is likely why the ghosts are able to roam the woods outside the Shaker mansion or appear on the lawn of Murder House.

Cricket and Elias were both able to use it effectively, though. They can roam free on Halloween, Devil's Night or if they're released by magical means. In Murder House, ghosts can roam free on Halloween night, as seen when Tate takes Violet out for a date and Moira goes to see her mother.

But in Hotel, this rule is never mentioned. Instead, they focus on Devil's Night, the day before Halloween, when ghosts of serial killers are able to appear at the Hotel Cortez. Coven also establishes that ghosts can be permanently freed from their location of death through magic, which is what happened with the Axeman.

Ghosts are fated to repeat themselves. He was publicly ambushed and executed by gunfire in broad daylight before a crowd on the courthouse lawn.

And Vernon Dahmer, the burly, dignified family man, farmer and civil rights activist who was killed while defending his own house in a firebomb attack.

They would likely applaud all the progress blacks and whites have made in Mississippi and the nation since the s.
